A. 1/5 fish
We know that 2/5 of Mike's fish are clownfish. Therefore, 3/5 are not clownish as 5/5 – 2/5 = 3/5. Also, if you look at the model, there are five pieces. If we assume that model represents the whole of Mike's fish and you take away two pieces, you are left with 3/5. So we know that the remaining fish is 3/5
Next, we know that of these 3/5 fish, 1/3 is damselfish, so we need to find 1/3 of 3/5. To do this, we must multiply 1/3 by 3/5 as "of" means multiply in Math.
So: 1/3 • 3/5 = 1 • 3/3 • 5 = 3/15 3 ÷ 3 = 1 and 15 ÷ 3 = 5 3/15 = 1/5
1/5 of Mike's fish are damsel fish
B. 2/5 fish
Now we know that 1/5 of Mike's fish is damselfish, and 2/5 is clownfish. To find the fraction of his fish that are neither, therefore, we must subtract their sum from the whole.
First, we add 1/5 and 2/5 together. Adding the numerators, 1 and 2, we get 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5
Next, we subtract: 5/5 – 3/5 = 2/5, so 2/5 of his fish are neither clownfish or damselfish
And if you look at the model again, you can see that if you cross out 1 piece for the damselfish, and 2 pieces for the clownfish, you are left with 2/5

Answer:
b. -150
Step-by-step explanation:
We usually take elevation to be positive above sea level, and negative below sea level. If the elevation is below sea level, it is negative. If it is within 200 ft of sea level, the magnitude of the negative number is 200 or less. That is, the elevation must satisfy ...
-200 ≤ elevation < 0
The only answer choice in that range is -150.
Ethan's elevation in feet could be -150.
